Anglo-Saxon/Old English Blog
After examining background information about the Anglo-Saxon period and Old English, write a paragraph comparing and contrasting Anglo-Saxon culture and/or Old English language with the culture you live in today. Are they completely alien of each other or are there interesting similarities?I think that Old English culture was almost completely different than English is today. There are a few exceptions though. Old English culture was i think more sophisticated because they challenged their knowledge more than we do. We simplify as much as we can to make our culture easier. I think the Old English language is very interesting, as opposed to our language which can be interesting but usually isn't. The video i watched was about farming.. they had to plow the fields with cows and walk behind the wooden plow. Although it may look simple, it wasn't. People would work from dawn til dusk and the labor could cause back, feet, and arm problems or pain.

I think you bring up a lot of interesting ideas between the two cultures. Also, you use good sentence structure variety. Small issue is to always capitalize 'I' when referring to self.
